Delivering the sermon for the day, Prophet David Owusu reminded the congregation that although people construct buildings, God is the ultimate builder and sustainer of every vision.

He drew from Philippians 1:6, further expressing confidence that God who had initiated the vision would grant the project team the grace, wisdom, and strength to successfully complete it. Prophet Owusu urged all stakeholders to work together in unity to turn the vision into reality.

In dedicating the construction site, Prophet Owusu prayed for divine protection over everyone involved in the project, declaring that the construction would be free from accidents and injuries and that the completed facility would stand as a testimony to God's faithfulness.

The ceremony culminated in a symbolic tree-planting exercise representing growth, sustainability, unity, and a shared commitment to nurturing a project that will positively shape the lives of generations of Daystar University students.
